Our third vintage of Tempranillo from Folin demonstrates the elegance and finesse this Spanish varietal will express when unencumbered by excessive over-ripeness or manipulation. We love how one glass of wine can take our senses to so many different places. Initial framboise aromas of crushed briar fruit are followed with nuanced masculine aromas of pine sap, charcoal, and tobacco. The palate is luscious with loads of black fruit, like a wild berry galette, or black cherry jam. This rich and generous wine would sing alongside dishes with mole—a little spice, and a little smoke.
The boldest of the wines that Raptor Ridge produces, this vintage showcases a medium-bodied expression of the grape with plum, tobacco and licorice notes.
Bold, dried cherry and plum with rich and spicy notes, full tannins, beautiful structure and silkiness, the 2015 Tempranillo Reserva yearns for Spanish tapas.
